Das Glöcklein
 (Sung text for setting by F. Kamm)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Auf dem grünen Rasensitze,
  Hier am kleinen Wasserfall,
Hör' ich von des Thurmes Spitze,
  Eines Silberglöckleins Schall.

 ... 

Glöcklein gibt mir ernste Kunde,
  Ruft: der Tag hat sich geneigt;
Mir auch kommt die Abendstunde, 
  Da die Sonne niedersteigt.

Dann, o liebes Glöcklein, klinge,
  Freundlich mir zu Grabes Ruh' ;
Die befreite Seele schwinge
  Selig sich der Heimath zu.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,5,6 of the original text.
